The Color Blue


The color blue is a happy color - the color of the sky, the color of the ocean, certain birds and flowers.  It is all the more notable because it stands proudly in contrast to Nature's overwhelming greens and earth tones.  The curmudgeon was always partial to it and hence a blue sailboat, blue Director chair covers, blue awnings on the house, my starter BMW, even this blog.

However, it does NOT belong on fingernails.  Blue fingernails are downright scary.  Attached to the human body like that, blue becomes unearthly like the ick factor of tongues after eating a blue Popsicle.  Unnatural.  And scary. 

Wicked Witches of the North and their ilk wear blue nail polish - it suits witches.
